Musnad Ahmad 421 (Book 4, Hadith 20) #34094
The Power of Proper Wudu

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of performing wudu (ablution) properly and how it can lead to forgiveness of sins.

It was narrated that Humran bin Aban said: I saw 'Uthman bin 'Affan (رضي الله عنه) do wudoo', He poured water onto his hands three times and washed them, then he rinsed his mouth and nose, then he washed his face three times, then he washed his right arm up to the elbow three times, then the left arm likewise, then he wiped his head, then he washed his right foot three times, then the left foot likewise. He said: I saw the Messenger of Allah do wudoo' similar to what I just did, then he said: "Whoever does wudoo' as I just did, then prays two rak’ahs without letting his mind wander, his previous sins will be forgiven"
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَنْبَأَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ اللَّيْثِيِّ، عَنْ حُمْرَانَ بْنِ أَبَانَ، قَالَ رَأَيْتُ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ تَوَضَّأَ فَأَفْرَغَ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا فَغَسَلَهُمَا ثُمَّ مَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْثَرَ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ غَسَلَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى إِلَى الْمِرْفَقِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ الْيُسْرَى مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ قَدَمَهُ الْيُمْنَى ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ الْيُسْرَى مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تَوَضَّأَ نَحْوًا مِنْ وُضُوئِي هَذَا ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ وُضُوئِي هَذَا ثُمَّ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ لَا يُحَدِّثُ فِيهِمَا نَفْسَهُ غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the importance of performing wudu properly before prayer. Wudu is an Islamic ritual that involves washing certain parts of the body with water in order to be purified for prayer. In this hadith, Humran bin Aban narrates that he saw Uthman bin Affan perform wudu in a specific way - pouring water onto his hands three times and washing them, then rinsing his mouth and nose, then washing his face three times, then washing each arm up to the elbow three times, wiping his head and finally washing each foot three times. He also mentions that he saw the Messenger of Allah do wudoo' similarly. The Prophet Muhammad then said that whoever performs their ablutions as he did and prays two rakahs without letting their mind wander will have their previous sins forgiven. This hadith emphasizes how important it is for Muslims to perform proper ablutions before prayer in order for them to be spiritually cleansed from any wrongdoings they may have committed priorly. It also serves as a reminder that if one focuses on their prayers without letting their mind wander or become distracted by worldly matters during prayer time, they will be rewarded with forgiveness from God Almighty for any wrongdoings they may have done previously.
